Local History & Genealogy

    The library's local history and genealogy collection is housed in the McLaughlin Room, located just off the children's department. Most of the collection must be used in-house, with selected books available for check out. The room provides table space for materials, a microfilm reader/printer for the microfilm collection, and a computer with Internet access to Ancestry.com as well as other genealogy sites.

Check back often as we will be adding more .pdf files of family genealogies as copyright laws allow.

  • DAR Patriot Index
